I don't know if treaty Oak acorns are available any more.

In 1989 someone tried to kill the tree with a massive overdose of
herbicide. Parts of the tree were lost, and the part that survived
didn't produce any acorns until 1997. IIRC, they're still a scarce
commodity.

Try the e-mail address at the bottom of this link and see what they say:

Is it just me, or would that page have been greatly enhanced by a jpeg?

Maybe even a "then-and-now" comparison, or something.
